The approximate speed of the sound wave traveling through the solid material is 1012m/s.

<h3>Wavelength, Frequency and Speed</h3>

Wavelength is simply the distance over which the shapes of waves are repeated. It is the spatial period of a periodic wave.

From the wavelength, frequency and speed relation,

λ = v ÷ f

Where λ is wavelength, v is velocity/speed and f is frequency.

Given the data in the question;

  • Frequency of sound wave f = 440Hz = 440s⁻¹
  • Wavelength of the wave λ = 2.3m
  • Speed of the wave v = ?

To determine the approximate speed of the wave, we substitute our given values into the expression above.

λ = v ÷ f

2.3m = v ÷ 440s⁻¹

v = 2.3m × 440s⁻¹

v = 1012ms⁻¹

v = 1012m/s

Therefore, the approximate speed of the sound wave traveling through the solid material is 1012m/s.

A student claims "everything falls at the same acceleration rate on the Moon, where there is no air or friction," how would you
Alexeev081 [22]

Now let’s say you’re on the Moon. If you were to drop a hammer and a feather from the same height, which would hit the ground first?

Trick Question! On the moon both objects would hit the ground at the same time. On Earth, the hammer lands first.

So yeah, the student is right. Galileo gave us this theory long ago.

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

A. the indices of refraction matched

Explanation:

The index of refraction, or refractive

index, is a measure of how fast light

rays travel through a given medium.

Alternatively, it could be said that

the refractive index is the measure of

the bending of a light ray when

passing from one medium to

another. Mathematically, it can be

represented as a ratio between two

different velocities – the velocity of

light in vacuum and the velocity of

light in a given medium.

For example, try putting a pencil in a jar full of water. If you look at the pencil from above, it would look as though the pencil has bent in the water. That happens due to the refraction of light. It occurs because as light rays enter water, they slow down, as the speed of light in water is lower than the speed of light in air. The magnitude of how much a medium refracts a light ray is determined by the index
